Ladd McConkey Fantasy Football Rankings & Outlook

PFM Fantasy Outlook

Ladd McConkey returned to the Chargers lineup against Kansas City after dealing with a foot injury, but his afternoon ended early because of a concussion. He caught one pass for 17 yards before leaving the loss. That is a difficult development for a receiver whose season has already been interrupted by injuries and an offense struggling to create much downfield.

McConkey has 13 receptions for 200 yards and a touchdown in five appearances. He still has the route-running ability to be a useful target for Justin Herbert, but fantasy managers need more than an encouraging skill set after a one-catch afternoon. The Chargers are entering their bye, giving him additional time before the next game. PFM's WR20 rest-of-season position is possible if he returns to normal work and the passing game improves. Concussion clearance and actual practice participation must come before any confident weekly recommendation.
